  1. This popped up here a year or two ago. It was seen on the 2019 Edge / Nautilus in very cold weather, and caused by a software upgrade. .
  2. Listened to the video. Its probably going to take your mechanic to diagnose it problem as it could be so many things. But I'll offer an opinion. One thing I'd suspect is worn cam phasers. When failing, these will create a rattling type sound because of their moving without sufficient proper oil pressure (to dampen the movement.)
  3. I also used the push the opener purple (learn) button, then the homelink button on the visor. However, I held the homelink button until the opener light blinked (indicating it connected.)
  4. Seen a guy on YouTube who fixed his camera by going into the hatch and just remounting the camera upside down...!
  5. Try a radio reset and a sync reset. (Pull fuses, leave out for several minutes, then replace.) Bad connector connections can also cause problems. Possibly the vehicle battery is getting weak, could run test on amout of amp-hours remaining. (Voltage test doesn't work on modern cars.)

    Veterans

    You can request all of your service records, including your DD214 on the VA website. I just ordered two more certified copies of my DD224 last year. Took about 3 weeks. (No cost of course.) https://www.va.gov/records/get-military-service-records/ You said you're 80. Vietnam vet? If so, apply immediately for Agent Orange exposure. Agent Orange will bump you to 60% at a minimum. Even if you weren't in Nam, exposure to fire pits still qualifies. -> Important, apply before Trump takes office. Hes stated he intends to stop vets from claiming. Also have your family doctor send a complete list of all you medications over to your VA doctor. You can get all your drugs through the VA at minimal cost (less than Part D policy.) If you’re in priority groups 2 — 8. tier 1 meds are $5 tier 2 meds are $8 tier 3 meds are $11 (Thrse prices are for a 30 day supply, for a 90 day supply multiply by 3) (Priority group 1 is no copay, = 50% disability rating.) If you have a service-connected rating of 40% or less, and your income falls at or below the national income limits, your meds are free. The max copay out-of-pocket is $700 per calendar year.
  7. Id imagine that the 12 hours also included the time the car was on the life draining (must drain every drop) and 4 hours wait to allow the RTV to cure. Not all of that is billable. Honestly I'd go with replacing the pan gasket as the cost is probably minimal while they're down there (and avoids oil drippage on the garage floor.)
  8. Yaaaaaaa, I've had the urge to rip the drivers door off my MKX at times, but so far, I've managed to resist it.
  9. Word of advice. Just don't let your wife know. In 20 years she'll bring it up at the least opportune time.
  10. Happened to me as well. Just replace the stem; its not going to repaitlr itself and will probably fail went you're on the freeway or middle of nowhere. At night. (Mine ruptured.) The OEM valve cores they use today are Chinese. Some are good, some are crap. When mine went bad, I requested they use OEM. Service rep told me the OEM were Chinese, and same as aftermarket, only more expensive. There are some US made cores, but at $15 each ......
  11. Don't have the problem on my 2009 MKX, but if i did, I'd just buy a 21.5 mm socket (what it was designed for) and let the OEM nuts swell. Here's one example of a 21.5 mm impact socket. DAKCOS 1/2-inch Drive 20.5 x 21.5 mm Impact Lug Nut Flip Socket, Half Size Ford Lug Nut Socket, CR-MO https://a.co/d/9lDsd2J
  12. I've read where replacing the TPMS module corrected this. There is one more wive's tail I've heard about. Doesn't cost anything to try. Start the car and place the keyfob into the I-have-no-fob-battery "spot" and let it sit there for 5 minutes. It supposedly reprograms the car/FOB connection.
  13. Don't know about where you live, but around here, putting any exterior red lighting, on the front of the car, is cop bait.
  14. Low transmission fluid Worn transmission clutch paks Faulty TCM Faulty AWD Worn tires Engine mounts
